Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Surveying / psicanálise/acadêmico
Portuguese term or phrase: organizam
Ela faz referência a uma hipotética condição neurótica e psicopatológica que goza de predominância nas mulheres devido à forma que estas comumente se organizam.

Não é um termo simples. Em psicanálise, organizar é definido pelo autor como a pessoa se constitui enquanto sujeito. Ele ainda diz:

Mulheres tendem a se organizar de forma histriônica por conta do discursos social e os homens de forma neurótica-obsessiva.

organize themselves


Explanation:
I would definitely translate it literally. There are plenty of examples on-line associated with psychology. Here's a good example:

"She [Jean Baker Miller] maintains that women tend to organize themselves around the ability to preserve ties and close relationships, because nurturing and tenderness are part of their nature. Men, on the other hand, are oriented toward the achievement of goals..." - https://books.google.com/books?id=2435DqYRLSUC&pg=PA20&lpg=P...
